Weapon doesn't want to fire at bigger distances

[br_ac_army1 2]

I am trying to create a weapon based on ADR-97 TR and using 25 mm HE shells (inherited from 40 mm HE). Everything is okay but when I try to put a bigger distance (500m, 1000m, 2000m for example), the weapon just fires without changes. However, it worked for everything else.

What should I do?

My config.cpp: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ho5aw314uqv6d7s/config.cpp?dl=0

	};

What do you mean "try to put a bigger distance"?

Do you mean changing the zeroing of the weapon? If so the reason that isn't working is because you haven't altered any code referring to zeroing...

		discreteDistance[] = {100,200,300,400,500,600,700,800};
		discreteDistanceInitIndex = 2;

The first line defining distances at which the weapon can be zeroed, and the second line being the starting/default zero range of the weapon, taken from the line above it with the first entry being 0 (so in the above example 0 = 100, 1 = 200, 2 = 300 etc.)

I added the discreteDistance and discreteDistanceInitIndex variables. It helped me to solve a problem with ASP-1 Kir (I made a 127x108mm variant of it, but it couldn't fire further than 1400m). However, I had put these strings to my ADR-97, but nothing changed.

I have a theory that the problem is in the ammo, because I have .338 variant of ADR-97 TR where I wrote maxzeroing = 1600, and it works nice for all ranges. I suppose that bullets can tune to some range automatically and shells can't. I ran out of ideas

You might be right, I've never played around with configurating custom 40mm or similar so I couldn't speak to whether or not that is the case 🤷‍♂️
